Presence of angiotensin II and expression of angiotensin II type-2 receptor in human fallopian tube
(1998)
Objective: To determine the presence of angiotensin II and angiotensin II type-2 receptor subtype messenger RNA (mRNA) in human fallopian tube. Design: Frozen fallopian tubes were used for all studies. Setting: Procedures ...
Angiotensin-(1-9) reverses experimental hypertension and cardiovascular damage by inhibition of the angiotensin converting enzyme/Ang II axis
(Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2014)
BACKGROUND:: Little is known about the biological effects of angiotensin-(1-9), but available evidence shows that angiotensin-(1-9) has beneficial effects in preventing/ameliorating cardiovascular remodeling. OBJECTIVE:: ...
Recent insights and therapeutic perspectives of angiotensin-(1-9) in the cardiovascular system
(Portland Press Ltd, 2014)
Chronic RAS (renin-angiotensin system) activation by both AngII (angiotensin II) and aldosterone leads to hypertension and perpetuates a cascade of pro-hypertrophic, pro-inflammatory, pro-thrombotic and atherogenic effects ...
Angiotensin-(1-9) reduces cardiovascular and renal inflammation in experimental renin-independent hypertension
(Elsevier Inc., 2018)
© 2018 Elsevier Inc. Hypertension-induced cardiovascular and renal damage can be mediated by activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. There are different factors beyond renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system ...
Angiotensin II directly impairs adipogenic differentiation of human preadipose cells
(Springer, 2015)
Angiotensin II reduces adipogenic differentiation
of preadipose cells present in the stroma-vascular
fraction of human adipose tissue, which also includes
several cell types. Because of the ability of non-adipose
lineage ...
Larger Anti-adipogenic Effect of Angiotensin II on omental preadipose cells of obese humans
(NORTH AMER ASSOC STUDY OBESITY, 2007-07)
Objective: The ability to form new adipose cells is important to adipose tissue physiology; however, the mechanisms
controlling the recruitment of adipocyte progenitors are poorly understood. A role for locally generated ...
Synthesis and expression of functional angiotensin II receptors in Xenopus oocytes injected with rat brain mRNA.
(1987)
Xenopus laevis oocytes were injected with poly(A)+ mRNA isolated from rat brain and superfused in a medium containing either serotonin, angiotensin II or bradykinin. Applications of serotonin or angiotensin II to injected ...
L-type calcium channel β subunit modulates angiotensin II responses in cardiomyocytes
(Taylor and Francis Inc., 2011)
Angiotensin II regulation of L-type calcium currents in cardiac muscle is controversial and the underlying signaling events are not completely understood. Moreover, the possible role of auxiliary subunit composition of the ...
Enhancement of blood pressure response to dopamine by Angiotensin II
(1981)
The interaction of dopamine and angiotensln II (AH) on blood pressure and heart rate was studied in rats. The influence of reserpine pretreatment and ragotomy was also studied. Inbred rats anesthetized with urethane received ...
Calcium: Its role in the mechanism of action of angiotensin ii and potassium in aldosterone production
(1981)
The role of calcium in the angiotensin II- or potassium-mediated increase in aldosterone production was analyzed in isolated glomerulosa cells prepared from bovine adrenal glands. The response to potassium was highly ...
